The development of fish es is unique in some specific aspects compared to the developmental biology development of other animals. Cleavage Cleavage embryo Cleavage , or initial cell division, of the fish zygote is meroblastic , meaning the early cell divisions are not complete. The yolk y end of the egg the vegetal pole remains homogenous while the other end the animal pole undergoes cell division. ref name gilbert cleavage Gilbert 1994, pp. 185 187. ref The fate of each of these first cells, called blastomere s, is determined by its location. This contrasts with the situation in some other animals, such as mammals, in which each blastomere can develop into any part of the organism. ref name gilbert cleavage Neurulation Neurulation , the formation of the central nervous system , is different in fishes than in most other chordate s. The neural tube begins as a solid cord formed from the ectoderm . This cord then sinks into the embryo and becomes hollow, forming the neural tube. This process contrasts with the process in other chordates, which occurs by an infolding of the ectoderm to form a hollow tube. ref name gilbert neur Gilbert 1994, p. 247 note . ref Sex determination Many species of fishes are hermaphrodite s. Some, such as the painted comber Serranus scriba , are synchronous hermpahrodites. These fish have both ovary ovaries and testicle testes and can produce both ovum eggs and sperm at the same time. Others are sequential hermaphrodites. These fishes start life as one sex and undergo a genetically programmed sex change at some point during development. Their gonad s have both ovarian and testicular tissues, with one type of tissue predominant while the fish belongs to the corresponding gender. ref name gilbert hermaphrodite Gilbert 1994, p. 781. ref Notes references References cite book last Gilbert first Scott F. year 1994 title Developmental Biology edition 4th publisher Sinauer ... more details
Mammalian embryogenesis is the process of cell division and cellular differentiation during early prenatal development which leads to the development of a mammal ian embryo . Difference from human embryogenesis Main Human embryogenesis Most mammal s develop similarly to Homo sapiens during the earliest stages of development, the embryo is largely indistinguishable from another mammal. However, there are phenomena found in human beings not found in all other mammals, as well as phenomena occurring in other mammals, but not in humans. Humans Mammals do not necessarily have the same human chorionic gonadotropin released from their embryo. Non human mammals The anatomy of the area surrounding an embryo or fetus, however, is different in litter bearing animals compared to humans each unborn animal is surrounded by placental tissue and is lodged along one of two long uterine horns rather than in the center of the pear shaped uterus found in a human female.

Along with the novels Shroud novel Shroud and Ancient Light it comprises a trilogy concerning Alexander and Cass Cleave. Plot and themes Its narrator, Alexander Cleave, is a 50 year old, disillusioned actor who retreats from his career and his wife, Lydia, to his empty childhood home for an indefinite period of introspection. He seeks to uncover, he says, the blastomere of myself, the coiled hot core of all I was and might be ref Banville, John. Eclipse . Alfred Knopf, 2000, p.15 ref from years of accreted guises. His desultory ruminations take up the dynamics of family, the nature of identity, and the reliability of memory. The book also addresses epistemological themes. Cleave s solitude is interrupted by what he provisionally believes to be ghosts, sightings, brief, diaphanous, gleaminlgy translucent, like a series of photographs blown up to life size and for a moment made wanly animate, ref Banville, John.

expert subject 1 biology date December 2011 Biology is the Research study of life and its processes. Biologists study all aspects of living things, including all of the many life forms on earth and the processes in them that enable life. These basic processes include the harnessing of energy, the synthesis and duplication of the materials that make up the body, the reproduction of the organism and many other functions. Biology, along with chemistry and physics is one of the major disciplines of natural science.

In humans, it is called an embryo until about eight weeks after fertilisation fertilization i.e. ten weeks Gestational age Last Menstrual Period or LMP , and from then it is instead called a fetus . The development of the embryo is called embryogenesis . In organism s that sex reproduce sexually , once a spermatid sperm fertilizes an ovum egg cell , the result is a cell biology cell called the zygote , which possesses half the DNA of each of its two parents. In plant s, animal s, and some protist s, the zygote will begin to divide by mitosis to produce a multicellular organism. The result of this process is an embryo. Animal embryos In animals, the development of the zygote into an embryo proceeds through specific recognizable stages of blastula , gastrulation gastrula , and organogenesis . The blastula stage typically features a fluid filled cavity, the blastocoele blastocoel , surrounded by a sphere or sheet of cells, also called blastomere s. The embryo of a eutheria placental mammal is defined as the organism between the first cell division division of the zygote a fertilized ovum until it becomes a fetus . An ovum is fertilized in a fallopian tube through which it travels into the uterus. In humans, the embryo is defined as the product of conception after ... more details
